Fraserdale

Fraserside’s Fraserdale facility supports adults with mental health challenges through two programs: Long Stay and Short Stay. The two programs are funded by Fraser Health and differ in prescribed services and admission criteria.

The program delivers two personal assistance services (referred to as prescribed services): medication services and psychosocial supports. In addition, the program provides a supportive home environment to help residents:

Learn about and better manage their mental health conditions

Enhance their communication and interpersonal skills

Develop healthy relationships

Staff supports are available to residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
